Our clients may not notice if their machine had disappeared never mind an
icon that blinks.
For my purposes, I don't even want to enter into the violation argument and
I want to give my users as much notice as possible that I'm taking over
their machine or watching what they do in a particular
instance.

Subject: Re: Hiding icon
Ah - now this is a good question. Currently the tray icon reverses colors,
but if your resolution is very large (say 1024x768 or higher) the icon is so
small anyway that one is likely not to notice the change.
For our purposes we were considering making the icon blink between normal
and reversed colors for the entire duration that a viewer is connected. We
considered a pop-up message, but that is a bit too intrusive, especially if
your clients are radiologists trying to read exams. I will probably end up
doing the icon-flash thing, if anyone is interested in the change I will
post the relevant lines of code to enable the effect.
